There is something magical about holding a piece of nature in place.
Encaustic is an ancient painting medium made by blending heated beeswax and damar resin. I love the way the wax creates a luminous, almost ethereal surface—softening the edges while preserving the delicate details of each plant.
Rather than adding color, I’ve been working with the transparency of the wax, allowing pressed flowers, grasses, and leaves to become the artwork. Little fragments of a season, gathered and preserved in wax.
Each piece becomes a quiet collaboration between the landscape, the plants, and the artist—an attempt to hold onto something fleeting.
I’m taking commissions for the holiday season. If there’s a plant, season, place, or memory you’d like to preserve, I’d love to talk about creating something meaningful for you.
